on this point is not likely to ee mueh
favored. 1t is probable that his reputa-
tion as financier will be much injured
by his present proposals, which arc con-
.iderei as meretricious, and as intended
solely to add TO the popularity OF the
government for the moment, without due
regard TO permanent interests.
TINS HOLY SEE AND TaE KNIGHTS OF LABOR
The influential and generally correct
Catholic journal, the 7d6d, announces
that the withdrawal of the Papal censure
of the Canadian Knights OF Labor IS not
equivalent TO an approval OF the ORDER
ut is the policy of the Holy See to leave
men free to combine for self-protection
and for the development OF their legltl
mate interests and aspirations, provided
they use only lawful and innocent means,
is the only comment vouchsafed by the
Tablet upon the matter. 1t is perhaps
fair inference that the Vatican has been
satisfied by Cardinal Gibbons representa-.
tons that thus far, at least, only lawful
and innocent means have been sanctioned
by the Knights.

the sentiments of the working classes

THE GLApsroNITEs PROTEST.
LONDON. April %. The Gladstonite com
mittee for Taunton have written to the
Liberal Press, protesting against the unfair
use they allege the Tories are making
of the Phoenix Park letter, stated to have
been written by Mr. Parnell. Although

the Tory committee are still circulat
ing copies of 1t by the thou
sand among the electors. That tn,
Tory leader in the House Of Commons is
fully cognizant of this they declare is
proved by the fact that on all the loca
railroads where Smith 4 Son have book.
stands the letter is exhibited. The
chances Of election of the Gladstone can
didate for Taunton have been seriously
diminished by the publication OF the let
ter.
THE "TIMEsn BREACH or PRIVILEGE.
At the last Cabinet council the question
Of appointing parliamentary committee
TO investigate the alleged breach Of priv.
ilege by the Timss in publishing the Par
nell letter, was extensively discussed
II was agreed without dissent to take
no action in the matter, and leave
the initiative to Mr.. Parnell and his
friends. II is stated that the solicitors OF
the treasury have in their possession
several letters written by Mr.. Parnell tc
Mr.. Patrick Ford. Mr.. Paruell's sigma
ture in each of these letters is declared
on the testimony Of hand writing experts
to so closely resemble that Of the letter
published in the Times, as to throw tn,
gravest doubt on the statement that IA
letter was forgery. The Unionist and
Tory press are keeping the excitement
alive, for relectioneoring purposes, in every
possible way. Several of the former in
sist on Mr. Parnelrs clearing himself by
instituting legal proceedings against th,
Times. Mr. Parnel has gathered evidence
oral and written, for use in the event o.
necessity arising, proving that the senti
ments expressed in the Times letter were
contrary to those he entertained and ex
pre- ssed at the time of the Phoenix Parl
ASSASSINATION.
